Built in 1968, this Earth dam stands at 35 feet tall and serves as a popular spot for water enthusiasts in the area. With a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, Kimberly Lake provides a tranquil escape for fishing, boating, and other recreational activities.
Although the dam's hazard potential is low, its condition assessment is deemed poor as of the last inspection in 2015. With a high risk rating of 2, there is a need for further risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of Kimberly Lake's dam structure. Despite these concerns, the lake continues to attract visitors seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the natural beauty of West Fork Tanners Creek.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore Kimberly Lake's unique features and potential risks, it becomes evident that this private recreational oasis in Indiana holds both recreational value and a need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to safeguard its surrounding environment and visitors.
